WWE: Daniel Bryan’s Concussion Protocol, John Cena to Star in New Netflix Movie

Daniel Bryan’s Concussion Protocol

ESPN wrote an interesting article about Daniel Bryan that talked about the protocol that he has to go through after each match because of his concussion history.

Daniel Bryan walks backstage after finishing a match, something he’s done thousands of times over the course of his 19-year career. Instead of heading right to the locker room to shower and change before driving on to the next town, Bryan has to first take the number eight and multiply it by three, multiple that number by three and divide it all by four. If he can’t come up with the correct answer, he’s not wrestling.

This is the cost that Bryan has to pay if he wants to wrestle for the WWE.

It’s just one of the tests a WWE doctor performs on Bryan after he’s endured any physical activity in the ring. First, he gets his eyes checked. Next, he goes through a series of balance tests. And in the final step, as we’ve covered, the doctor asks Bryan to solve a math equation — nothing too complicated, but something challenging enough to determine if his brain is functioning properly. The series of tests can be strenuous given that they occur night in and night out, but the WWE isn’t taking any chances with a performer who has suffered 10 documented concussions.

John Cena Movie

John Cena will co-star with Jason Bateman in an upcoming action comedy movie for Netflix. The title and release date are still unknown.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, “The story centers on a family that gets stuck in an old abandoned movie studio. The sets come to life and the family members find themselves stuck in various films.”

Jason Bateman will also direct the movie. It’ll be written by Mark Perez, who wrote Game Night, which was also an action comedy starring Bateman.
